Ferocious Winter Storm In November Of 2014 Claims Several Lives. New York Braces For More Snow.

I’ll admit that I’m a fan of The Old Farmer’s Almanac 2015. Armed with the rigorous method of tracking weather patterns, useful analysis can be digested and sent to the public, in order to prepare for the winter. What does the winter look like? Is it going to be like that nasty winter we endured last year? We hope not.

According to their weather blog, the editor informs us that it may be very cold, but probably not as bad as last winter. Her words: “Think of it as a refriger-nation.”

Another well of information concurs the same predictions. “Cold Will Not Be as Harsh, Long-Lasting as Last Winter,” is the line coming from a writer at AccuWeather. The snow could cause some major problems, according to the expert analysis.

Bombogenesis Is The Word

According to the NOAA Ocean Prediction Center, there were 20 unique hurricane force wind events between during January and February 2014. Fourteen storms underwent the process called bombogenesis, whereby a cyclone rapidly intensifies, dropping at least 24 millibars in pressure over 24 hours. The number and intensity of North Atlantic storms is higher than normally observed – and this feature can be seen in wind speed data from the period.
